Editorial Review"I have lost 50 pounds over the last nine months by eating less, moving more, and changing the way I think. I am 62 and look better and feel better and have more energy than in the last 15 years."--Ron T.
" I read the wisdom put forth by Chris and Harry . . . [and] my next physical blew my doctor away. I am 74 and in better shape than when I was 50."--Jack S.
"Not a week goes by that I do not utter a silent prayer of thanks that Younger Next Year came into my life. You guys are saving the world one body at a time."--T. G.
Announcing the paperback edition of Younger Next Year, the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller, co-written by one of the country's most prominent internists, Dr. Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris Crowley. These are the books that show us how to turn back our biological clocks--how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work--and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation. Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond.

- this book inspired me!
I have read and reviewed many diet and exercise books. But, this book truly inspired me. I read it one year ago, and I can say that I feel truly younger this year! I have lost 2 sizes, have more energy, and I don't need a nap in the middle of the day any more. I am thrilled with the new me!
- Crudely Written
I bought the book to learn more about my body as I age and to prepare my body for the years ahead. But, I found that the authors are crude and often times gross in their writing. Their gutter vulgarity is not entertainment and by all means does not help a reader learn about his need for exercise. The whole book is a celebration of the authors' egos and lack of communication skills. Finally, the authors' attempt to educate the readers gets lost in their rambling and the many nonsense events in their lives... more info
- Interesting look at connection of exercise and body chemistry (3.6*s)
This book is yet another look at aging, in this time of boomers reaching retirement, that is both breezy, on the part of retired lawyer Crowley, and watered-down scientific, on the part on gerontologist Lodge. Their concern is that the typical deterioration of a person's physical plant (body) and the onset of common afflictions, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and complications from falls, are entirely unnecessary and actually abnormal. They point out that the body is in a constant state of decay... more info
- Younger Next Year
This is the best book I have read on exercise and life style for folks over 50!
